Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Crunch Topping:

  • ½ cup (65g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk (or more for consistency)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Scoop and Shape:
    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  • Prepare the Crunch Topping:
    In a small bowl, mix the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, flour, sugar, and melted butter until crumbly.
  • Add Topping:
    Gently press the topping onto the cookie dough balls before baking.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Glaze:
    In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Drizzle and Serve:
    Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies. Let the glaze set before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the cookies are completely cool before glazing to avoid the glaze melting.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, add a bit more powdered sugar.
